I am a 76 year old male and have lost about 60% of my natural teeth. Nothing dramatic, just one tooth at a time.

Is this percentage normal for my age or, based on your own experience, what is the normal rate of tooth loss with age.

Are the any web sites that might illuminate this question? 


Actually you have more than many your age. If you are over 65 in
pennsylvania 2/3 have zero teeth!




Seriously?
